ProAct Playhouse

ProAct Playhouse is a life skills class in the Day Training Program at ProAct, Inc. in Eagan. Our mission to provide community-integrated opportunities in the performing arts for individuals with disabilities, and to provide our participants with a platform from which they can share their talents.

Drama in the community

People with disabilities from ProAct, Inc. write, rehearse and present their own productions covering a range of topics and using humor to share a message.

Their upcoming production, “Welcome to Our World,” plays at the Lakeville Area Arts Center on April 25 at 7:30 p.m..

Based on interviews and real experiences of people with disabilities, new and established actors will present fresh scenes showing stereotypes, job challenges, bullying and a little romance.

ProAct Playhouse is a part of ProAct Theatre Works! There are three components:

Intro to Theatre: Beginners- Participants start with vocalization and become comfortable with movement and presence while enhancing self-esteem and self-awareness.

Theatre Workshop: Intermediate- Individuals enhance stage presence by acting and reacting with others in a scene or situation. They build memorization and listening skills.
